Retrospective

We bring back favourite films, two of which have previously screened at NZIFF and played seminal roles in shaping the film festival as it is today. Included in this collection is the premiere of a new 4K restoration of New Zealand film Bread and Roses celebrating 30th anniversary.

Bread and Roses

Gaylene Preston

Preston*Laing’s film adaptation of activist Sonja Davies’ autobiography beautifully captures the heart-breaking social and societal conditions of mid-century women in New Zealand.
